# Scouting ORL · from Sacramento's side: ORL @ SAC, Tue Nov 10, 2026 · 10:00 PM ET

How to read this file: every list below is the report's own list, in the report's order (the same selection code draws its PDF). Quoted text is the report's wording; the brackets after it hold the numbers behind its words. Percentages are of attempts unless named otherwise. League percentiles run 1st-99th among the qualified players named in the pool (higher = better for the player; for turnovers, higher = fewer). Last season = the baseline window, this season = the recent window. '-' = no value or too small a sample to grade.

This report is gameplay analysis computed by NightlyHoops from play-by-play and box scores. The cards come from the last game: Starters are the players who started it. The injury report's statuses are given as listed, with the report's date and the time it was read, never with a reason.

## Definitions

- windows: baseline = the prior full regular season (2025-26 regular season); recent = the current regular season to date (2026-27 regular season to date). The windows are disjoint.
- grades (shooting / ball security): league percentile of the player's 2025-26 regular season rate among qualified players, computed from the play-by-play file (qualification: 3P% >= 100 3PA, rim FG% >= 100 restricted-area FGA, FT% >= 75 FTA, rates per FGA >= 300 FGA, turnover rate >= 300 usage events). Words as in 'grade words'; for turnover rate a HIGH percentile means FEW turnovers.
- team league context: every team's 2025-26 regular season value from one pass over the baseline file (same definitions as the team stats except that live team rebounds are approximated as rebounds without the 'deadball' qualifier). rank_desc: 1 = highest value among 30 teams.
- rotation: players ordered by total minutes in the recent window's box scores; Starters = the players who started the team's last game (its box score); a player under 10 minutes over the recent window is listed (Also seen), not carded.
- per-36: baseline per-36 uses each player's total minutes over the baseline season, every team he played for included; recent per-36 uses the box-score minutes.
- clutch: FGA/FG% (and FTA) on shots taken with period >= 4 (includes overtime), game clock <= 5:00 remaining, and |scoreHome - scoreAway| <= 5 BEFORE the shot (score taken from the latest preceding row of the game that carries a score; shots with no prior score are not clutch). The 2025-26 file has no shot rows with empty scores.
- possessions_est: FGA + 0.44*FTA - OREB + TOV, all team-level counts over the window, where OREB = player offensive rebounds + team offensive rebounds that are live (qualifier 'team' without 'deadball', and not immediately following an end-of-period heave) and TOV = all turnover rows for the team including team turnovers (shot clock, etc.). possessions_pg = /games.
- usage_events: FGA + 0.44*FTA + TOV for the player (or team). This is the denominator of to_rate; it is a fractional trial count because of the FT weight.
- availability (context): statuses as the league's official injury report lists them, with that report's date and the time it was read, never a reason; a player who is not listed is not named. A carded player listed at either of the two most serious statuses keeps his card but leaves the free-throw and foul boxes.
- grade words: league percentile words: elite 90th and up, excellent 75th-89th, good 60th-74th, above average 50th-59th, average 40th-49th, below average 25th-39th, bad under the 25th.
- change flags: For each rate, shrink the recent proportion toward the baseline with a Beta prior of strength m (empirical-Bayes flavour): p1_shrunk = (k1 + m*p0)/(n1 + m), with m = 60 for shot-diet / zone / assisted shares, m = 250 for FG%-type rates (rim FG%, 3P%; 3P% needs ~750 attempts to stabilize, so a 10-game 3P% is almost never flaggable by design), m = 60 for turnover rate. FLAG when |p1_shrunk - p0| >= 0.06 AND |z| >= 2.0 where z = (k1/n1 - p0)/sqrt(p0*(1-p0)/n1) (raw recent proportion against the baseline proportion, SE from p0) AND n1 >= 15 recent trials. Here the windows are disjoint.
